231.Before the Great War (1)
"Concubine Xie Zhu Longen!" Concubine Jing Lihua raised her head with rain and looked at the attendant, and took the holy decree with a trembling hand.
"Congratulations, ma'am." The attendant who sent the holy decree smiled and said, "No, now I should change my name to Concubine Jing Niangniang." ”
"Thank you, waiter." After Concubine Jing thanked him with a smile, she ordered someone to send him away and gave him a bounty.
In the afternoon of the same day, Mu Yu moved to the Huilan Palace. Since then, Mu Yu has officially become the child of Jing Concubine.
After revealing Xia Tianyan's identity, Mu Ziqin accelerated his defensive offensive against Su Qianguo, and at the same time, Luo Ge also asked Bai Xiaosheng to speed up the news of various countries.
Finally, when summer came, Su Ling had action.
"Brother Wang!" In the afternoon when he was resting as before, Luo Ge came to play chess with Mu Ziqin, but when he set the first chess piece, Mu Ziheng's voice sounded in the dark.
"What?" Mu Ziqin stopped what he was doing.
"There is news from the border that there is a sudden influx of displaced people."
"When was it?"
"The news overnight should only be ten hours by now."
"Which cities are there that have reported the news?"
"Wandong City, Jinshun City, Jiangcheng and Wanxi City all have an influx."
These four cities, as the four largest cities adjacent to the Mu Jin State and the Su Qian State, were not only responsible for simple economic exchanges, but also played a role in military defense. If the influx of displaced people at this time was mixed with the meticulous work of the Qianji Pavilion of Su Qianguo, it would be equivalent to the first line of defense of the Mu Jin Kingdom.
"Is the disposal of the displaced people in accordance with the previous arrangement?" Mu Ziqin's brows furrowed slightly.
"Yes." Mu Ziheng nodded, "The homeless storage points and pharmacy stores in these four cities have been arranged. When all the displaced people first came in, all the displaced people were resettled in the displaced area according to the previous plan. In addition to ordinary doctors, there are also people from the secret guard, and once they find something wrong, they will be isolated separately and then sent to the prison without disturbing the people's hearts. ”
"Well done." Mu Ziqin nodded with satisfaction, "Then you will follow this plan first." Wait until tomorrow morning, or when someone comes to meet you a little later, Lone will carry out the plan again. ”
"What about Su Yu?" After asking about the displaced people, Mu Ziheng mentioned the prince of Su Qianguo, who was far away.
"The recent secret letter is that everything is fine. Let him bring him the news and ask him to rebel. Remind him to make good use of the Blood Edict. When he arrived in the Eastern Capital, Lone led the elite troops straight to the Eastern Capital, and at the same time told him that Xia Shiren, Luo Yin, and Su Ling, the Emperor of the Su Qianguo Kingdom, had all stayed. ”
"No." Mu Ziheng was ordered to leave.
"I understand both Xia Shiren and Su Ling left, why do you want to leave Luoyin?"
Faced with this matter, Mu Ziqin put down the chess pieces in his hand that he originally wanted to land on the chessboard, and said: "I didn't want to talk about this matter, but now that the war between the two countries is about to begin, if your younger brother Su Ji can reach the Eastern Capital City one step faster, then everything will be settled, but if he can't do it, then we can only rely on ourselves." ”
"Then what does this have to do with Luoyin?" Luo Ge interrupted him anxiously.
"Don't be in a hurry." Mu Ziqin reached out and held her hand, "These are just what I want to tell you, if Su Ji arrives in the Eastern Capital City first, then the three of them will be able to stay, so that you can also know the truth about your mother's initial murder." If Su Ji can't do it, then it means that I will personally kill the Eastern Capital Palace, and at that time, I really don't dare to guarantee that I can be rational enough to face the three of them. ”
"In that case, then you tell me, what does Luo Yin have to do with my mother's death?"
"Did you hear about your mother when you were younger?"
Luo Ge shook his head and said, "There is only one thing I have known since I was a child, that is, my mother is the first talented girl, and she is married to Xia Shiren. Eventually, she disappeared into the palace. Later, in the palace, I learned that my mother had been humiliated for a long time, and finally committed suicide due to humiliation. ”
Mu Ziqin shook his head and said, "What you know is only a part. The other part that I don't know is this Luo Yin. Luo Yin's original name was Luo Yin, not the current Luo of Luoshen. She is a sibling to your mother. The two of them are both literate and martial. After Mu Ziqin finished speaking, he listened to this, looked at Luo Ge's surprised expression, and waited until she digested the news before continuing to speak, "All this has to start when the two of them were young, Luo Heng, the first talent of the five wilderness and eight horses." He's your grandfather, and you know something about it from your grandmother. In his early years, he was sent to southern Xinjiang because he offended Su Ling's grandfather, so not too many people knew about the fact that she had a pair of sisters under her knees. ”
"Then why didn't my grandmother tell me?"
"Because, the fate of Mrs. Luo Yue, the same sister, is not so good. Although they are sisters of the same birth, their fates are very different because of the difference in the time of birth. Because when Luo Yin was young, she was broken by an old Taoist and said that she was the life of the Heavenly Demon Lone Star, and if she stayed at home, she would kill the whole family, and she was sent to southern Xinjiang by your grandfather. So from now on, it's as if your aunt never appeared in this world. Even your grandmother is not allowed to visit. Slowly, everyone forgot about it, but because of the relationship between the same life, your mother found your aunt's whereabouts in the year of Jilu. ”
"So, you're saying my mother took the initiative to find my aunt?"
"Yes." Mu Ziqin nodded, "Originally, your mother didn't have to go to your aunt, but because of her curiosity about the other self, she went to find your aunt, so the final result can be imagined, your aunt didn't accept your mother's words, and she also hated the entire Luo family, and vowed to level the entire Luo family." ”
"So according to what you say, my aunt is Luo Yin at this moment, and the person my father really likes may be my aunt, and then the emperor likes my mother. And in the end, my father asked to marry my mother, in order to find a way to give her to the emperor, and then change my aunt to go to the Xia family. ”
"Yes." Mu Ziqin nodded, "But what I didn't expect was that something went wrong in the middle of your mother's going to the palace and your aunt entering the Xia family." As a result, your aunt has no way to enter the Xia family to take your mother's place. ”
"So, in the beginning my mother married my father was a bureau?"
"Yes. But what happened in it is not known to anyone until now. Why did your father give birth to you with your mother in the end? Why did your father give her to Su Xuan after giving birth to you in the end. ”
"In this way, my father insisted on giving my mother to the king after she gave birth to me, and then took my aunt to the Thousand Machines Pavilion. But I don't quite understand why my aunt was willing to enter the Thousand Machines Pavilion. ”
"I think you'll really have to wait until you meet her. After all, the only people who know the truth of this matter now are your father and Luo Yin. ”
"What about my mother's codex?"
"Speaking of which, I think I can give it to you now." Mu Ziqin got up to get the codex as he spoke. In about half a moment he returned, with the yellowed codex in his hand.
"This codex ......" Luo Ge's words were not finished before Mu Ziqin interrupted.
"This codex, let me tell you first, that what you see is not complete. It is even possible that it is fake. ”
Luo Ge opened the codex in his hand with doubts, and then asked, "Why do you think this codex may be fake?" ”
Mu Ziqin sat down beside her, and then said, "Look at the newness of the silk cloth, as well as the changes in the writing of each word on it. Most people may think that it is caused by the difference between people in different situations, but in fact, you can see that the writing habits of some words should be different from your mother's. So now I'm not sure if this codex is true. ”
Luo Ge didn't speak, but carefully looked through the hand-piercing in her hand, analyzed all the questions he raised little by little, and finally read all the content before she spoke: "I believe what you say." I also have to admit that I didn't pay much attention to these nuances at the beginning, so now it seems that everything is an arrangement, and I really don't know the truth about my mother's death until now. What is true? ”
Facing Luo Ge's question, Mu Ziqin comforted: "If you feel that you can't tell the truth from the falsehood of all this, then the best way is to overturn everything you knew before, overturn everything you think is true, and start looking for the truth again from now on." Maybe in the end you'll find the real answer. ”
Luo Ge nodded in agreement.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Mu Ziqin knew that she was thinking a lot, so Mu Ziqin continued: "If you think these are difficult, then change your mind. You're just now the first time you know about your mother's death, and now you've got a clue that your aunt has something to do with your mother's death, so what you have to do now is follow that line. Of course, you don't have to find this line by yourself now, we just need to go directly to your aunt and ask for clarification. What do you think? ”
Changing her words, Luo Ge was a little more acceptable, and she spoke: "Since that's the case, then let me know it for the first time." She let out a long sigh of relief, and continued: "I really didn't expect that I had worked hard in Su Qianguo for so long in the past, but it turned out that everything was fake. It's really hard to put into words. ”
Mu Ziqin understood her thoughts very well, and said: "I don't have the right to say that I empathize with such a feeling, but I can tell you that I will always be there as long as you want." ”
"Thank you. Brother. Luo Ge was very happy to approach her.
But who knew that Mu Ziqin raised an objection at this time, and he pretended to be serious and said, "Why have you only called me Senior Brother for so long?" And not call me by name? ”
